Chapter 137
Episode 137
Boom boom!
The scenery changes with a tremendous vibration.
As expected, it was an old tree that had grown so much that it reached the sky. If you lose your balance even a little, you will fall a thousand miles off the cliff.
X, who was riding on the old tree’s shoulder, let out an exclamation.
“Are you all watching this spectacle alone?”
-Hehe… I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been moving around like this… I’ve been getting sick of the same scenery every day… Thank you for giving me a reason to move… my big eater friend. .
“You’re such a big eater, you’re still the same.”
The old trees, who were excited about going out for the first time in a while, ignored X’s words.
These are old trees that value the providence of nature. Even though I was able to move with the power of the runestone, I couldn’t leave the forest of old trees on my own.
But this time, there was a request from X. These old trees never forget the blessings they have received, as their back ends are long!
The old trees that readily accepted X’s request were on their way to Veneta.
‘At this speed, you’ll be able to arrive before the attack?’
Long strides!
Contrary to the slow speech, the speed of the old trees’ advance was incredible. Every time her long legs spread wide, it feels like she’s skipping a village.
On top of that old tree, X drew a picture in his head.
‘This is definitely not an easy opponent.’
The strongest on the continent!
There is Songwol, who is said to be the strongest player in Fate in name and reality.
You wouldn’t know it if Songwol had ignorantly believed in his power, but the targets he had been carefully planning since the Fate beta test were real.
‘A must-have siege weapon.’
Weapons that appeared for the first time in the battle between Pajukjise and Shining One!
X watched the video several times on the treadmill.
The rocks that struck down on Shining One were still vivid in my memory.
‘The damage is difficult for the user to handle.’
X’s vitality was tens to hundreds of times higher than that of users of the same level.
However, the situation was not such that there was enough room to ignore the siege weapons.
“They’re not stupid either.”
Fate is the game that everyone who has some talent in the game jumps into.
They are members of the guild belonging to the Pajukjise, which is said to be the strongest guild in Fate.
As if raiding a boss monster, it is a predetermined process to persistently keep it in check for a long time based on numerical superiority.
Will he be able to withstand the all-out attack alone and protect Beneta?
‘I guess I can protect something.’
Be confident!
In fact, it was X who fought and won against a creature of another being that was incomparably more powerful than the previous one.
As if that weren’t enough, all the secret moves including the bear stance, liberation of the Eight Gates, and denial of death have been saved!
Even if Pajukjise responded with optimal power, he was confident that he would make about half of Pajukjise’s guild members, including Songwol, log out.
Suddenly, X raised the corner of his mouth.
“…But there’s nothing left just to protect it, right?”
Not only is there nothing left, but your power is exposed to the world!
Moreover, what will arrive later is War Machine.
X knew Kaimus’ abilities better than anyone else.
It would not be very difficult for Kaimus to find a way to destroy it after seeing his battle with all his might.
‘We must achieve an overwhelming victory.’
The plan was not only to protect Veneta, but also to destroy the entire world before War Machine arrived!
So the presence of the old trees could not have been this reassuring.
-danger…? Haha… we experience death… every day… falling leaves… rotting branches… but… just like that… they come back to life every day… rotten leaves and branches. … It will become fertile nutrients… and make new buds bloom.
Despite X’s warning, the old trees showed no signs of giving up.
Thanks to this, X seemed to be able to concentrate on the battle without feeling uncomfortable.
X, who was soon searching through his inventory, took out a necklace.
Heirloom of the Thier family!
X, wearing a silver lion necklace around his neck, opened his mouth.
“This time, there is a cause, so there will be no tolerance.”
*
Beneta was upset.
“Hey, let’s log out now.”
“what. Even if I die, I can see this great battle up close. This is a business that survives no matter how many times you log out. “If I go out now, I’m sure I’ll regret it, right?”
“…is it? But the atmosphere is really fun.”
The residents of Veneta were busy moving around among the users chatting about various things.
For them, as NPCs, death is truly the end of life. It was natural that I couldn’t relax like the users.
Gloomy atmosphere.
chuck! The man caught the general store merchant who was diligently packing his belongings.
“Please come this way.”
“…Oh, Asus?”
“It’s been a while. “I have come to repay you for the information I received.”
Asus, the leader of Explorer!
Asus is well-versed in all kinds of information and rumors. Since he had a close relationship with the Veneta NPCs, he went out of his way to protect them so as not to lose them.
The situation was the same for other Explorer Guild members.
‘For non-combat classes like us, NPCs are valuable beings.’
What if an NPC with whom you have maintained a good relationship disappears? There was no greater damage to non-combat workers than that.
Asus, who was busy moving around, suddenly looked up the hill.
“That’s a once in a lifetime experience.”
The Thier family became the richest family on the continent!
After discovering a rock iron mine, he was about to start enjoying his wealth in earnest.
Since he had suddenly become a target of powerful people, it seemed difficult to keep his family alive.
Asus shook his head.
‘If you pay attention to every detail, you won’t be able to fight.’
It is difficult to take care of NPCs related to oneself.
Asus shook off his idle thoughts and suddenly heard a boy’s voice in his ears.
A confusing square.
The boy standing in the center was speaking to those gathered in front.
“Don’t be agitated. If we unite, Veneta will not fall easily. We’ll be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive. “I will provide food and all necessary supplies.”
Asus muttered.
“…Raan Thiyer.”
Raan, the young heir of the Thier family, was unperturbed.
He had more to lose than anyone else and did not lose his composure even in a situation where there were many people aiming for his head.
Asus shrugged his shoulders.
‘Because he had that kind of ability, his reputation would increase day by day.’
The Thier family’s reputation in Veneta was quite good.
Despite his sudden wealth, he has always remained humble, including his treatment of workers and donations to Beneta!
“you’re right. Veneta will not fall!”
“Let’s not be agitated and let’s each keep our position!”
In fact, the residents of Veneta found stability thanks to Raan’s words.
They gradually received food rations and began to perform their roles.
Asus smiled at them.
“This has once again stimulated my sense of adventure.”
It is dangerous to stand up to the enemy. Just like with X, my instincts were telling me.
However, Asus is a man with a slightly strange head, as is acknowledged by everyone! It was the same for other Explorer Guild members.
A woman with impressive red hair approached Asus.
“Of course you will participate, right? “I already participated.”
“Of course, what is the current defense strength?”
“There are 2,000 Veneta soldiers, 500 armed residents, and 500 users are in a single-eating alliance, including us… If I say anything, I think it will only lower morale. “I’ll skip it.”
“It’s bad. “Well, I need to take the time to do it right.”
It’s not a welcome reinforcement, but I’ll bide my time until War Machine arrives!
The time had come to revive Explorer’s specialty.
First, Asus confirmed the treasures obtained through the adventure.
‘A lamp that summons clouds of confusion.’
A special effect that blurs the distinction between allies and enemies.
Considering the large number of clerics that Pajukjise has, the effect may be close to disposable, but where is that? Every minute and every second add up to make a day.
“I finished installing the booby trap on the west door of Asus.”
“Leader! “What should we do with the weapons we brought?”
“Bring it to the square and we will distribute it as needed.”
Danwoo and the rest of the Explorer guild members also finished joining.
Asus couldn’t help but feel nervous. I was curious as to whether Sapa’s technology would be effective even against the overwhelmingly strong.
‘I feel like our progress so far has been put to the test.’
The time for the decisive battle is approaching!
There was silence in Beneta.
Not the silence of abandonment, but the silence of solidarity.
Combat class users waited on the castle wall with the soldiers, and non-combat classes, including Asus, waited in the square.
This was to respond nimbly to the situation.
“thank you.”
“…Are you in yet?”
“The adventurers are giving me strength, but I can’t stay still.”
Asus could not help but be shocked as Raan Thiyer remained in the square.
But I didn’t ask any more.
Because his eyes gave off such a solemn light that you couldn’t believe he was a boy.
Meanwhile, an urgent voice was heard from the western wall.
“I can see those enemies!!”
Damn it!
Their appearance was appearing beyond the horizon.
Crash! Asus ran to the castle wall and raised the telescope, an explorer’s essential item.
Asus’ lips trembled slightly.
‘…You came here with the right intention, right?’
The first thing that came into view was Drake wearing a muzzle.
Looking at the red lava dripping from the corner of its mouth, it seemed clear that it was Songwol’s pet that had been tamed from disaster.
Countless flags fluttering in the wind!
After that, key executives of Songwol were seen wearing fancy equipment.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The siege weapons that were dragged in with a loud noise were a bonus.
Asus bit his lip.
‘It is the power of powers. You plan to destroy not only Veneta but also War Machine. ‘Those guys?’
Veneta’s walls and their own preparations felt shabby.
But you always have to guess to know what’s long and short.
Having already participated in the siege, I had no intention of giving up now.
“Well, I don’t think I can endure it.”
Asus swallowed a bitter smile. I thought I was understanding the history of the disaster in my own way through information.
But I never thought they were hiding that much power. I felt like the class was different.
“Prepare your entire army for battle!”
“The barrier is ready to be deployed!”
“Seal the gates!”
The terrain is getting closer and closer.
The soldiers hung arrows on their bowstrings and held the ordinary residents breathless.
We are ready so that even a few users can perform their role at any time.
It was then.
thud.
“…?”
I felt the ground shaking from somewhere.
Asus wondered if he had mistaken it for a heartbeat, but judging from what others felt, it didn’t seem to be the case.
Thump thump.
“What is this sound?”
“Is this really a large-scale magic?!”
“…No, it’s not a sound coming from the direction of the ground.”
The source of the sound is in the south.
Asus, a legendary explorer with sharp intuition, hurriedly ran toward the south gate.
Thump thump.
The sound was getting stronger and closer.
Asus climbed up the castle wall and raised his telescope.
‘…Nothing?’
But there was nothing beyond the expanded horizon.
How far away is this vibration? What kind of being could produce such force?
Even experienced Asus couldn’t guess easily.
But the doubts did not last long.
Asus stuttered.
“…What is that tree?”
Moving old trees soon appeared at the edge of the horizon!
Asus was startled by the majesty of the giant tree army, and for a moment his mouth fell open.
Because a familiar silhouette caught my eye on the shoulder of an old tree.
“…X?Why are you there?!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
